Before befriending butterflies
You have to meet with
Midnight moths

But taking time to love
is what it`s
all about
That doesn't mean
lying close
In shut up rooms
or staying always
face to face

I know not of what love is like
except my feelings
guide my actions towards you
Remember how happy in these last
few weeks I've become

You say
that you have not found yourself
but have you?
I'm sure you have
but you live in worlds
Ill never know

And is this merely a pause
or is this goodbye
Well little butterfly
fly
But I plead not too far
afield
